Description
Giles Tremlett's journey through Spain's complex history reveals a country where the ghosts of its past continue to argue. The author's curiosity led him to explore the country's most contentious issues, from the Civil War to the role of terrorism. By examining the motivations behind these conflicts, Tremlett uncovers unexpected insights into the Spanish character. Tremlett's travels took him down colourful byroads, where he encountered a diverse range of voices and perspectives. As he navigated the country's complex history, he found that the ghosts of Spain were not just a product of the past, but a living, breathing presence that continues to shape the country's present. Through his journey, Tremlett sheds light on the often-overlooked aspects of Spanish history, revealing a country that is both familiar and strange.
